Description: | Van Os was born in Middelharnis in 1744 and was a student of Aart Schoumann at The Hague. Although he worked on marine subjects it was as a still life painter in the style of Jan Van Huysum, that he gained considerable fame. Often including bird's nests with newly hatched young and dead game birds in his still life arrangements, he did not tend to include live adult birds such as this. The manner of handling is also far less accomplished than in signature works by the artist. | Subjects: | still life (fruit and flowers); animal (dove) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Os, Jan van (Dutch painter and poet, 1744-1808) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8826... | Go to resource |
